The Norwegian cruises are nice and people are friendly but when I was on the Norwegian Majesty which left from Boston there werent many singles. Its too bad because there are few ships that leave from the Northeast US. As far a free style they place peoople at tables in the order they come in, they will place you at a large table but the issue is whether everyone else there is couples. It would be better if they had a table set aside for singles but they dont.
